Igneous rocks are called fire rocks and are formed either underground or above ground. Underground, they are formed when the melted rock, called magma, deep within the earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt, causing the magma to rise above the earth's surface. When magma appears above the earth, it is called lava. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground.
collision of tectonic plates
Geothermal Radiation (underground heat) from near by volcanic activity.
No.Mountains are the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Earthquakes are also the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Thus the two go together but the earthquakes do not cause the mountains.
Younger more active geological processes, cause more volcanic activity which is what a geyser is.
The largest non-organic cause of CO2 release is volcanic activity. In fact a single large eruption can produce more CO2 for the year than human activity does (Mt. St. Helens, for example).
convergent
Convergent boundaries, where tectonic plates collide, can cause volcanic activity due to the subduction of one plate beneath another. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic island arcs, such as Japan or the Aleutian Islands.
It starts with molten material [magma], when volcanic activity starts the molten material turns into igneous rock.

The growth of the Hawaiian island chain is primarily due to the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle. As the plate moves, volcanic activity at the hotspot creates new islands, with the oldest islands in the chain found in the northwest and the youngest in the southeast.
Plate tectonics.
A significant impact to the planet from a large enough asteroid could cause volcanic eruptions.

The volcanic and earthquake activity in the Pacific Northwest is mainly caused by the movement of the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate being subducted beneath the North American plate. This subduction process creates pressure and friction, leading to volcanic eruptions and seismic activity in the region.
Younger more active geological processes, cause more volcanic activity which is what a geyser is.
